Book Description
For millennia, Cassiel was a powerful Djinn—until she was exiled to live among mortals. Now the threat of an apocalypse looms, and Cassiel is in danger of losing everything she has come to hold dear…
As the world begins to fall apart around her, Cassiel finds herself fighting those she once called her own: the Djinn. With Weather Warden Luis Rocha and the rescued child Ibby by her side, Cassiel struggles to find a way to protect those who are in her charge and come to terms with the leadership role she never asked for.
Cassiel is opposed by Pearl—a powerful Djinn bent on raising an army of kidnapped Warden children to bring about nothing less than the end of the world. It will take everything Cassiel has to stop the Djinn from starting a war that will wipe all of humanity from the face of the earth. She knows that this might not be a battle she can survive, but protecting those she loves is worth any cost…

My Thoughts:
Unbroken by Rachel Caine is wicked, dangerous and packed full of action. I absolutely love this series- Unbroken is book four. Any of these novels could be read as a stand alone, though I wouldn't recommend it because each one is wonderfully entertaining. Caine's writing is just riveting- she knows how to vividly tell a story.
Cassiel is kick ass and powerful. Her character is intriguing, watching her grow over the series is fascinating. I have to admit that I usually do love a good book surrounding around the lives of djinn- so that may have something to do with it. Cassiel isn't the only character I adore though, Luis and Ibby are great too. All the characters in Unbroken are three dimensional, I felt like I could connect with each one of them.
Now, for the sad part. The only complaint I have about Unbroken is that it is the last book in this series. (Sigh) Rachel Caine fans aren't going to be disappointed, she hits another home-run with Unbroken. If you love the Weather Warden series, you HAVE to read the Outcast books. I recommend this series to ANY Urban Fantasy fan. It has everything - Action, romance, adventure. Go pick it up!
Books in this series in the order that they should be read:
1. Undone
2. Uknown
3. Unseen
4. Unbroken

great urban fantasy, Feb 7 2012
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Unbroken: Outcast Season: Book Four (Mass Market Paperback)
Cassiel the formerly powerful Djinn once thought the worst that could happen to her kind was being banished to reside amongst the despicable mortals, but since this happened to her she has come a long way to her astonishment liking these rug rats. With apocalypse pending for mankind, Cassiel ironically finds she obsesses with saving humanity from extinction especially Weather Warden Luis Rocha and his young niece Isabel.Cassiel and Luis head to Seattle to confront Pearl the Djinn and her abducted kiddie children corps of Warden offspring. She knows the chances of her surviving the combat is nil, but the price of her life is worth the possibility of saving Luis, Ibby and mankind from Pearl's species cleansing.
The final Outcast Season urban fantasy (see Unseen, Unknown and Undone) is a great thriller as the heroine recognizes how far she has come from despising to loving humanity. Courageous Cassiel accepts death is her expected outcome when she goes against an individual who possesses the power she once had. Although the trek to Seattle is exciting and loaded with action, the journey seems surrealistic over the top of the Mount Tamaulipas. Still Rachel Caine provides an entertaining finish to the Cassiel saga.

Unsatisfying finish, Feb 10 2012
By GypsyReader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Unbroken: Outcast Season: Book Four (Mass Market Paperback)
The book was too driven by the Weather Warden series events and was more of a 'Meanwhile this was happening elsewhere" to that storyline.I mean I know the two series have an overlapping timelines and exist in the same world, but in the other books of the series it the author succeeded in keeping them separate with separate goals and characters and plot. This book failed significantly in that respect. For the most part it felt like a novella of the Weather Warden series rather than a book in a completely different series dealing with a completely different cinflicts. It was all too enmeshed for me.
Also this series has two central conflicts that have drive it: the first is about defeating Pearl and the second about Cassiel choosing between her growing humanity and her loyalty to the Djinn. Right?
Well, both those plot lines are resolved in this book but both resolutions felt very abrupt and rushed because it seemed like the majority of the book was a Weather Warden novella and that left only the spare space to deal with these huge issue resolutions. Plus, I am left wondering about the fall out to Cassiel from her betrayals of the Djinn, which were pretty major betrayals.
Overall between the "enmeshed" issue and the "rush to resolution" I'm left unsatisfied with this installment, and since it's the last in the series-- unsatisfied with the series. Which is too bad. It had great potential.
Listmania!
